Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversWhen Microsoft released the official beta for Windows 7 a while back, it also published a set of system requirements. These were a general overview, and it seems that they have been updated to match the Windows 7 RC recently made available.
Here are the minimum Windows 7 requirements Microsoft offered in January when it released the Beta:
* 1GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
* 1GB of RAM
* 16 GB of available disk space
* Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128MB of memory (for the Aero interface)
Here are the minimum Windows 7 system requirements Microsoft released on April 30 when it made available the Release Candidate to MSDN and TechNet testers:
* 1 GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
* 1 GB of RAM (32-bit); 2 GB of RAM (64-bit)
* 16 GB of available disk space (32-bit); 20 GB of avaiable disk space (64-bit)
* DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Note: If you are planning to run Windows XP Mode along with Windows 7, Microsoft is recommending a PC with a minimum of 2GB of memory and 15 GB of additional disk space. “In addition, Windows Virtual PC requires a PC with Intel-VT or AMD-V enabled in the CPU, as it takes advantage of the latest advancements in hardware virtualization,” according to company officials.

mine dose not have intel-vt can it run windows 7?
or i need to change my processor?
e7300-2.66
hdd 160gb
2gb
vga 512ddr2
can support directx 10
i`m sure someone will figure out how to run pc mode without hardware assist or run like
vmware does with windows app window intergration (unity)
installed rc on 845 intel board with 2.4 ghz,8 mb shared video memory and 512 of ram in
total. works fine. no need of hack or crack to run on 512 mb ram system.
got it running on an old socket a duron applebred 1600, 32mb tnt2/m64 pci video card and
504mb of sdram (512mb less 8mb dedicated for video), no cracks or hacks or whatever.
heck, even got it running (albeit sluggishly) on a netbook running a via c7 1.00ghz
cpu, 960mb ram (1024 less 64 for video) and 64mb video ram (shared), just for kicks.
i know i read somewhere that ms has already said that windows 7 'intelligently' takes
advantage of available resources. this is unlike vista... if u only have 512 mb ram, it
will use somewhere in the range of 300 mb of it. i ended up putting it on my father's pc
a few months ago (due to ms sending that pirate key update)it is not all that slow on the
pc. its an athlon xp 2000+ with the 512mb ddr ram and a fx 5500 128mb video card. i think
i should also say that i just built my self a new pc, windows 7 63 bit runs perfect on it.
its a phenom 2 940 be on dynamic frequency (3.0-3.6ghz)with a radeon hd 4670 1gb graphics
card, and 4gb ocz platinum 1066mhz ram. its quite fast!
where did zou find this 63 bit version dude? post a link please...
well typos happen sometimes, i tried to edit it after it posted it and of course u cant
do that on here. and double posting isnt allowed. also have u ever heard of the
possibility someone can be tired at 2am? i am taking the cit course at the local tech
center, so yea i do know what i am doing when it comes to pc's tyvm.i have also been
involved with pc's since 1993 or 94, its been while. oh and i see u made a typo as
well...zou?
dude, don't think he was being mean, just a little joke...need to chill?

rupert, signing off.
i think you are ok as i am running my legit copy of win7 on my super pc ibm ps/1. the cpu
is an intel 80486sx at 25 mhz, 4 mb of ram,and my video is on board 512kb (almost 1 mb ! )
and for my big games storage i have a 129 mb hardrive. yours sounds more powerful than
mine so you should have no probs.
i start up my computer from the 16 gb usb stick so you might have to have something like
that.
